Happy to share this recent review with Mika Simons - White matter aging and its impact on brain function: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

White matter aging and its impact on brain function

Aging leads to a decrease in white matter volume and damage to myelinated axons, contributing to neurodegeneration. Myelin breakdown can trigger inflammation, creating a vicious cycle that causes...
